• I'm from Adelaide too and you're quite right...all it's succeeded in doing is alienating any kind of partnership with Qantas & Qatar to such a degree that you can no longer find any Qatar Classic Reward seats on Qantas...I too wish I could swap my Qantas FF points for Virgin to be able to acc...

  • Not so sure it's worked or indeed working now! Emirates taxes for Classic Reward flights have gone through the roof...would much prefer a Qantas/Qatar closer relationship but can't see this happening unfortunately! The Qantas/Emirates partnership has only succeeded in alienating the Qatar One Wor...

  • So...if you're flying Business Class with Air France that was booked via the Qantas web site using QFF points, (Qantas/AF Alliiance) can you use the Qantas Business Lounge in Singapore?

  • Was my home away from home for 10yrs, used to interview new employees in the Club Lounge during the day, now retired so look forward to a visit to experience the revamp!

  • Torally agree, Qatar Rewards flights are virtually non existent on the Qantas web site site currently, Qatar appear to be more aligned with Virgin these days yet Al Baker is driving Oneworld, it doesn't make sense!?

    Qants are not doing the right thing by there FF members, they know since Covid that people have built up their points balance and now finally wanting to fly again so they should be doubling their efforts to release even more Classic Reward seats but they won't as profits are more important than t...

    Sorry, I confused you all, my message to Customer Care wasn't about missing out on Platinum, my query to them was something completely different, I was just highlighting that once you lose Platinum status, Qantas are in no hurry to get back to you, I was merely highlighting the length of time it...

    I was Platinum for over 10yrs...then I retired! Unfortunately, in those years I didn't generate enough status credits for Lifetime Gold, I am 3,586 short...it might not seem many but when you no longer fly for business, reaching those remaining status credits is a near on impossibility! In Sept, ...

    They are virtually non existent out of Australia! One way of getting around this is to try Qantas Business Classic Rewards from Asia to Europe, maybe Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or even Hong Kong now that Cathay have started up! What this means then is all you have to do is do a separate Classic Rewa...
